This is volume five of a five volume collection that chronicles the author's journey from novice pilot to professional pilot, while adding technical lessons learned along the way. The author has a following through his website, www.code7700.com, which receives nearly 6 million hits every month. The website is used by airline, business, corporate, and military pilots for references to pilot procedures and techniques. The website also receives frequent visits from aviation industry, government offices, and colleges throughout the world. One of the most requested parts of the website are for more and more of the lessons, told in story form. The website author's web name is "Eddie," and many of the stories are told in an easy to read style, in Eddie's first-person voice.

While this book can stand alone, it takes up after volume four. After twenty years as a U.S. Air Force pilot, Eddie turns civilian. Flying large international corporations, small private owners, and commercial charter operations, Eddie learns that teaching crews to get along cannot be done with a simple class lesson or leading by example. While most pilots think they are Crew Resource Management gurus, most are blind to their weaknesses. Eddie's progress retraces the industry's evolution until, finally, he discovers the secret.

James Albright is an average pilot with average stick and rudder skills, but has an above average desire to learn and instruct. He spent twenty years in the United States Air Force as an aircraft commander, instructor pilot, evaluator pilot, and squadron commander. After retiring as a lieutenant colonel, he went on to fly for several private and commercial operators as an international captain, check airman, and chief pilot. His logbook includes the T-37B, T-38A, KC-135A, Boeing 707, Boeing 747, Challenger 604, and the Gulfstream III, IV, V, 450, and GVII. He is currently the chief pilot for a Gulfstream operator based in Massachusetts.

His website, www.code7700.com attracts three million hits each month and well over a thousand viewers each day. His articles have appeared in several magazines, most notably Business & Commercial Aviation.

He speaks on a broad range of aviation safety topics and his venues have included the Air Charter Safety Foundation, the Bombardier Safety Stand Down, and several airport and aircraft users group.

While he claims to be devoid of ego, that can hardly be true of someone willing to write a five volume set of flight lessons based on his own experiences.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2021

The author and I have corresponded on his website, though we have never met. He is an engineer by training and so am I, plus we had similar Air Force careers, though his was as a pilot and mine was as a technician. So full disclosure, I am certainly biased in favor of his books. Yet reading his books is so engrossing and informative that I forget the author and just immerse myself in the stories. Fortunately, not only are the stories captivating but each and every one teaches valuable things to know about people, and the stories always support and add to the intent of the book. I have found this to be true for the whole series. The author is a superb example of how to tell stories to teach important lessons. If there is ever a book 6, I will be an early purchaser for certain.

Inside Part 91/135 operations. It’s all about people.

“Flight Lesson 5” can stand alone in the series. Anyone interested in the people side of domestic and international Part 91/135 jet operations should read this book. From a new pilot that is trying too hard, to the check airman giving a difficult debrief, the emotion and perspective are brilliantly described. Raising the standard and attention to detail are always working against complacency. I am a better version of myself because pilots like James Albright have chosen to share above the bar professionalism. They leave a legacy of passion for excellence that inspires and motivates us.

Having read books 1-5 and as an avid reader of 7700, i love the idea that we need to realize that learning never stops, and that every day is a learning experience in the flying world. Good luck with your retirement, thanks for all the lessons.

My favorite of the five volumes of "Flight Lessons" series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2020

I found this final volume of James Albright's Flight Lessons series an outstanding and worthy conclusion to the series, and it was my favorite of the five. The previous volumes (1-4) cover James's 20 years in the US Air Force in detail, from pilot training until his retirement as a graduated squadron commander. The early volumes are heavy on flight techniques and procedures, gradually transitioning to more soft skills (leadership, crew resource management) as the series progresses. The fifth volume includes a time period equivalent to all of the first four volumes, covering all of James's approximately 20 years in business aviation. In keeping with the progression of the first four volume, there is little detail on flying techniques and most of the attention is focused on people skills. Business aviation is fertile ground for contemplating people skills as the flight crew cohort doesn't have the same training background as the Air Force and the environment much less structured where bad habits can grow unimpeded. If you are a CRM instructor, this book is essential reading.
